The second is conveyor belting. The gum rubber variety is a First staple. You can get more info from the IFI site they make the controller and also some new bolt together wheels which you pop rivet the belting to other wise teams get the wheel chair wheels lathed flat and glue the belting to the outside. Also try a search of the forums here, Hope this is helpful.
